Abstract: |
Natural geological deposits were not encountered during the watching brief. The earliest deposits recorded were alluvial clays into which an east-west aligned revetment [44], dating to the mid late 18th century, was constructed. Made ground / reclaimed land was evident to the south of the revetment whilst more alluvial layers were built up against the northern side,a ll consistent with a late 18th century date. These were sealed by dumped ground consolidation layers upon which a late 18th century north-south aligned boundary wall was constructed and into which a cess pit was cut. These were sealed by 19th century made ground deposits within which a soak-away and associated culvert was constructed. The evidence indicates that study site is located towards the eastern edge of the Horsleydown Eyot and has been subjected to land reclamation and development since the 18th century. |
